Love Is a Many Splendored Thing
Four Aces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king

Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing

Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still




Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing

I'm the grandson of Dave Mahoney, one of the Original Four Aces. I couldn't be prouder of all the comments I read. The Original Four Aces were a wonderful group, with near perfect harmonies. Youtube has been a godsend, allowing me to relive some dear memories of my younger years accompanying them on concert tours to Coney Island, Philadelphia, and the like. Thank you!

David, My grandfather was Louis Silvestri who was one of the original members. I can remember growing up and him always singing his songs even up until his death. It exposed me to some of the best music at a young age and even at 29 now I love the melody's of the 50's. We were truly blessed to have them.
